DRAINING THE FUEL TANK (Ref. Fig. 62)
Once each year, or more often if necessary, drain the
fuel tank when it is nearly empty. Drain the fuel tank by
removing the plug on the bottom right hand side of the
tank. This is done to remove any water condensation
or sediments that may have accumulated in the tank.

POWER STEERING RESERVOIR
After the first 120 hours of operation drain the power
steering reservoir and refill it. (Refer to the lubrication
chart fro the correct type and quantity of oil). Thereafter
change the oil after every 500 hours operations. (Ref.
Fig.'s 43 & 63).
When servicing the reservoir, the following procedure
must be followed:
1. Drain the oil from the reservoir.
2. Remove the filter and clean thoroughly with a
cleaning solvent. Dry the reservoir off with com-
pressed air until dry.
3. Jack up and securely block the tractor's front
wheels.
4. Replace the filter and refill the reservoir and then
replace the cap.
5. Using the starter motor, crank the engine for ap-
proximately 1 0 seconds.
6. Refill the reservoir and replace the cap.
7. Start the engine and let it run at a low idle. Turn the
steering wheel to the left one full turn, and then to
the right one full turn. Be careful not to turn the
wheels to the stops in either direction.
8. Refill the reservoir to its maximum level and then
turn the steering all the way to the stops in either
direction. Hold the wheels at each stop for only a
few seconds. Repeat this operation several times.
9. Refill the reservoir and let the front wheels down.
Tum the steering wheel in both directions and
observe for the proper operation of the steering
system.
The following diagram (See Fig. 63) is a complete
breakdown of the power steering reservoir. Replace-
ment filters and parts are avialable through your local
Long dealer.
